This is one of those dishes that you can eat often and never get sick of. It makes a great weeknight meal, because it is so simple, but it’s also ideal if you’re serving a large group. To complete the meal serve it with a nice salad, some garlic toast and a glass of red wine.

It’s the delicious flavor that gonna’ make this one of your families favorites, but it will become your favorite because of how easy it is to make. Each of the ingredients in this dish has amazing flavor, but it’s when you combine them and then top it with the creamy, garlic, Parmesan sauce, that it becomes over the top delicious.

If you are one of those people that likes spicy Italian food, you might be a little disappointed. This dish is on the mild side, but it’s certainly isn’t lacking in flavor. The sweet Italian sausage and the garlic are about as spicy as this dish gets.

Chicken Broccoli Italiano

Chicken: I like to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but if I do have some leftover chicken I’ll use that. 

Sweet Italian Sausage: I like to use ground sweet Italian sausage or mild Italian sausage, if I can find it. The ground Italian sausage can sometimes be difficult to find, depending where you live, if that’s the case you can always use Italian sausage links and just remove the casings.

Bow Tie Pasta: You can use just about any kind of pasta you want, I use Bow Tie pasta, aka Farfalle, because the kids like it.
